Established in 1981 inside an old, abandoned stone milk depot in Auburn, this pioneering estate single-handedly transformed global perceptions of southern hemisphere white wine. Decades before the rest of the world caught up, the winery committed to entirely organic and \u003cb\u003ebiodynamic farming\u003c\/b\u003e, focusing on absolute purity and minimal intervention. Driven by a legendary obsession with detail, this family-owned producer is directly responsible for spearheading the screwcap revolution, fighting the global wine establishment to prove that pristine, world-class whites deserve a closure that preserves their energetic fruit profile perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the estate produces a handful of exceptional, hand-crafted reds, it is their status as the absolute benchmark for \u003cb\u003edry Clare Valley Riesling\u003c\/b\u003e that cements their global reputation. For the casual wine lover, exploring this range offers a fascinating, straightforward lesson in how different vineyard plots shape flavor. Rather than relying on complicated trade terminology, the portfolio speaks directly through its two iconic bottlings. The \u003cb\u003eGrosset Springvale Riesling\u003c\/b\u003e delivers an immediate, friendly burst of bright lime zest, white blossom, and juicy green apple, making it immensely approachable in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, the legendary \u003cb\u003eGrosset Polish Hill Riesling\u003c\/b\u003e is born from ancient, hard blue slate soils where the vines are forced to struggle for survival. This creates smaller, highly concentrated grapes that translate into a structurally powerful white wine packed with crystalline minerality, intense citrus oil, and a piercing freshness. By offering these sought-after allocations by the single bottle, we make it simple for curious enthusiasts to experience these cellaring legends side-by-side without the restriction of multi-case buying rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGROSSET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"grosset-polish-hill-riesling","title":"Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023\/24","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrosset's eight hectare 'Polish Hill' organic vineyard is planted at 460 metres altitude and just five kilometres from Springvale. The low fertility soils of this hard rock site are composed of silt and shallow shales over a thin crust of clay and gravel. The vines have to work harder than those at Springvale and so produce small, thick skinned berries with bunches weighing just 100 grams. Made from only the finest free run juice the Polish Hill Riesling displays aromas of lavender, herbs, lime and a hint of chalk. Framed by a pure natural acidity, the concentrated palate is pure lime juice and lemon pith with a characteristic shaley minerality.

The six hectare Springvale vineyard (ACO certified organic) is situated at Watervale’s highest elevation (460 metres) on a gradual, mainly north-facing slope where thin red loams are interspersed with shale over limestone. This highly soft rock site insulates the drought-sensitive Riesling vines, which produce compact lime-green, moderate sized berries and bunches averaging 150 grams. The organic grapes were hand harvested and delivered promptly to the winery in small parcels, where they were crushed and destemmed. The fruit was then gently pressed and the free run juice was inoculated with neutral yeasts to preserve the natural expression of the vineyard in the final wine. Fermentation lasted two weeks and took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks in separate batches according to clone and vine age before blending and bottling. The Springvale Riesling has lemongrass and lime aromas, with a touch of floral lily notes and spring herbs. On the palate, the wine is bright, intense and powerful, with a tight structure and generous flavour profile of green apple, layers of citrus and touch of white pepper and a very long finish. A delicious Riesling when young, but also with great ageing potential.
